Travelers Companies Inc on Thursday reported a 98% fall in quarterly profit, as severe wind and hail storms in parts of the United States pushed up its catastrophe losses. Core income of the New York-based company, often seen as a bellwether for the insurance sector as it typically reports before industry peers, fell to $15 million, or $0.06 per share, in the second quarter ended June 30, from $625 million, or $2.57 per share, a year earlier. Severe storms in parts of the United States caused the insurer's catastrophe losses net of reinsurance to jump to $1.48 billion from $746 million a year earlier.

Finnish telecom gear group Nokia on Thursday reported a drop in second-quarter profit due to a drop in margin as growth in sales of 5G gear in markets such as India failed to offset slowing demand in North America. Comparable operating profit fell to 626 million euros ($702.37 million) from 714 million euros last year. Nokia and rival Ericsson have been hit by slowing orders from customers, mostly in their high-margin North American markets.
